USD Index Price Analysis: Above 104.00 comes 104.70

DXY leaves behind Wednesday’s daily drop and approaches 104.00.
Once 104.00 is cleared, the index might challenge the 104.70 zone.

Pablo Piovano FXStreet

DXY manages to regain balance and sets aside Wednesday’s retracement.

The index challenges once again the area of monthly peaks near the 104.00 mark, while a convincing breakout of this zone should open the door to a potential visit to the May top of 104.69 (May 31) ahead of the 2023 peak of 105.88 (March 8).

While above the key 200-day SMA, today at 103.13, the outlook for the index is expected to shift to a more constructive one.

Looking at the broader picture, a convincing breakout of the 200-day SMA should shift the outlook for the index to a more constructive one.

EUR/USD trims losses, back to 1.1830

Gold loses further momentum, approaches $4,800

Gold recedes to fresh two-week troughs around the $4,800 region per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal builds on Monday’s downtick following a marked rebound in the US Dollar and mixed US Treasury yields across the board.
